\nHe was fined $4,500 for attending a social gathering just a day after the circuit breaker measures took effect and posting the event on social media.
\nFrancis Soh Seng Chye emerged as one of the two men sentenced on 20 May for violation of the circuit breaker measures.
\nHe was fined $4,500 for attending a social gathering just a day after the circuit breaker measures took effect and posting the event on social media, reported Yahoo.
\nOn 8 April, Soh \u2013 who had a car-sharing arrangement with Lye Bao Ru \u2013 accepted the latter\u2019s invitation for dinner when she met her to hand over the car keys.
\nHeld at Lye\u2019s Circuit Road flat, the hour-long dinner gathering was attended by a total of seven persons.
\nSoh posted photos of the gathering on social media, adding the caption: \u201cAfter a long long long long super long day\u2026 we are having a (sic) illegal gathering\u2026 so what? Enjoy the food to the max.\u201d
\nSoh\u2019s friends questioned him of his post, with one reporting the gathering to the Stomp website. The post attracted a lot of attention from the media.
\nSoh took down his social media post at the request of Lye, who was also his cousin-in-law.
\nDeputy Public Prosecutor Kenneth Chin noted that the 38-year-old Singaporean \u201cmischievously went further to broadcast his defiance\u201d on social media, belittling and mocking those who were following the law.
\n\u201cWhat happens is that you get charged. What happens is that, while the rest of the nation is staying home, you are here today to face the consequences of your actions. I hope that sufficiently answers your question, Mr Soh,\u201d the prosecutor told Soh.
\nThe father of two, who was unrepresented, admitted that it was \u201ca very childish thing to post.\u201d
\n\u201cI don\u2019t challenge the law but anyway I\u2019m sorry,\u201d added Soh.
\nThe other man charged of violating the circuit breaker measures was Shake Mohammed Abdul Samad Haji Abduraheem.
\nOn 22 April, the National Environment Agency (NEA) officers patrolling at Block 99 Aljunied Crescent spotted Shake sitting at the void deck while drinking alcohol. The 44-year-old Singaporean was not also wearing a mask.
\nWhen asked to wear a mask, Shake took out a mask from his pocket and wore it over his chin. He refused to provide his particulars to the officer, who called the police and began recording the incident with a mobile phone.
\nThis upset Shake, who pushed the officer\u2019s hand away and spat on the ground, before fleeing. The police was able to trace his identity, with the investigations showing that he acted out of anger.
\nShake was fined $1,500 and sentence to four weeks imprisonment after pleading guilty to using criminal force to a NEA officer, refusing to provide his particulars as well as for failing to properly wear a mask while outside his residence.
